I love the free version of this app, and I would definitely love to upgrade to the pro version! It is super helpful for driving, or just when you can’t reach your phone… or even when you can’t be bothered to pick up the phone to read the text message yourself. Call it laziness if you like, but it also promotes safety while driving! It takes away the temptation of reading the text message you just got while you were driving, by simply reading it out for you!

A major plus is the lady’s voice! It’s hilarious when you want it to be, and her pronunciation is bang on!

It would be great if the app read out BBM messages, seeing as how BBM is so popular. It would also be nice if the app read out the stored names of contacts rather than their phone numbers. It’s too hard to remember that many phone numbers.

Drivesafe.ly has come up with ewhat is by far my favorite Blackberry application. Being stuck in the car in LA traffic as much as I am, this cool program has let me know whether or not an incoming message is important or not. although I can’t hear the entire message due to the 25 word limit on the free version, I know if this message is something I have to pull over and check. I could not recommend this program highly enough!!!

P.S. The native recognition of abbreviations (lol, omg, brb, g2g, etc) is awesome!!

Count me in – I commute 43 miles each way to work, and being able to have my emails read would significantly reduce the stress level of having to sit there driving all that time!

Ever since I read the review of this program, I have been using it on a daily basis during my drive to and from work (40+ minutes). A full version would be awesome!

Nice program; can’t believe how good the voice is and how natural the conversation sounds.

Would like to find a way to be able to better control the app; it just reads the message whenever it gets to it; would be better if it “asked” for permission before it just read the email through the speaker.

I have just started using the free version and I am very impressed with it. It does remove the urge to just peak at your inbox while driving as you are sure, there are not new messages.

I love this APP! I am writing an English paper about texting and driving and actually sourced this app as an positive alternative!!

Winning the full version would be great! Thanks for the chance to win

Cant figure out how to edit my post but I forgot to mention a suggestion for the app.

Add an mute option to stop if from reading. Like with all incoming messages we receive we can hit the mute button and it stops the sound. If the app is reading an incoming message we can hit the mute button to stop the reading.

Plus I would love Facebook to be allowed to be read!

I’m currently using the free trial. It’s awesome. The accuracy is unbelievable.
My only issue is that the thing keeps startling everyone around whenever my phone comes out of bedside mode and starts reading a bunch of queued messages. An automatic on/off feature would be nice addition. Nonetheless it’s an excellent application and would love to have the full version.

I found the free version of Drivesafe.ly a couple weeks ago & I’m LOVING it! The idea of having my texts & e-mails read has always appealed to me, but I didn’t want to shell out $25 for an app when the average app costs less than $5! I can’t thank Drivesafe.ly enough for providing a free copy of their app so EVERYONE can be that much safer on the road! Besides, the Drivesafe.ly app is SO much easier to use than any similar app trial I ever downloaded & it works BEAUTIFULLY!!! I think the number of people posting here for a chance to win this app speaks VOLUMES – it’s one of the best apps I have, & I only have the free version!! Good luck to everyone!
